New York, NY. Full time. We're looking for vp engineering, jr & sr python engineers, jr & sr frontend (js/backbone) engineers + jr. & sr. android & iOS engineers.
As you can tell from the job openings, Percolate is a very quickly growing SAAS company in NYC. We are building a platform that helps companies manage all their marketing. We recently raised a $24 million Series B lead by Sequoia.
We're looking for a VP to lead the team of ~30, as well as backend (all levels), frontend engineers (we run backbone.js alongside our RESTful API) and mobile (iOS + android). On the backend, we're especially interested in folks with good experience working with lots of data and excited to build real-time systems.
Here's thirteen reasons why you should come work here: (1) Our goal is to build the best engineering team in NYC (2) Every employee gets salary + equity (3) As we get bigger, you will be able to focus on what you are good at (4) We are all different and we love it (5) GPL compliant company (6) You choose your workstation (7) You choose your tools (8) No worries, free your mind: NY salary + medical + dental (9) No vacation policy (we don't count the # of days you take in a year) (10) Company invests in you: Fly to PyCon and other conferences (11) We prefer quality over quantity: Focus on clean code and test coverage (12) Your voice will be heard (13) We just got a cold-brew coffee keg for the summer
Lots more info about us at our new about pages: http://percolate.com/about If you're interested email us at [email protected] or apply at http://percolate.com/about/jobs/ If you have any questions you can email me (I'm co-founder and CEO) directly at [email protected]. Thanks.

There is an account named whoishiring who creates these posts.
Can the whoishiring bot run earlier on the 1st to prevent these sort of issues?
Are you hiring, or just looking to backseat moderate?
The whoishiring account does the postings automatically, I'm not sure if that is done from YC/HN or through an outsider but it's a good idea to have only one of these threads.
What bugs me is how every comment in this thread is being downvoted.
Edit: it's an outsider but a pretty good setup, see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2391828

Sorry, I didn't know about https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2391828
@Mods, can you please delete this post?
@Mods, can you please delete this post?
@Mods: or better yet, merge it with the other one when it does it's thing!
Quite a few good posts in here already it would be a waste if they got lost.

This job post is going to confuse everyone today.
Hopefully a mod deletes this Who is Hiring in favour of the regular, organized one.
Kudos to this OP for trolling it.

Let's not go for malice where being uninformed would do.
I'm pretty well informed about all things HN and I had missed the original thread where the whoishiring policy was established.
What would be good is if a title of 'Who is hiring' would automatically trigger a review or if those postings would be limited to the whoishiring account. And even better still if that were an actual HN/YC supported feature.

@jacquesm: Are you the OP of the original hiring post? (as that is the thread I was asking to be deleted).
Also,
>Sorry, I didn't know about https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2391828

>@Mods, can you please delete this post?
I find it strange that the OP claims he/she didn't know about the regular monthly posting when he/she got the exact wording correct.
@akh: didn't you pick up on the username of the regular posting?

@akh: didn't you pick up on the username of the regular posting?
I looked at the last one, copy-pasted the top bit and posted. Didn't know that we had a whole policy around this thing.
@akh: Well it was probably a mistake. No harm done.
@jacquesm: True, it would. We'll see what happens at 9am EST.
@jacquesm: True, it would. We'll see what happens at 9am EST.

There is harm:
Maybe not all jobs posted here will be re-posted later. And if the thread is deleted they won't even show up on search.
The best solution would be if who is hiring threads could only be posted by the whoishiring account and this is made official in some way.
More users => more chance of mistakes like these.

Austin TX, AcademicWorks, Senior Ruby Engineer / Systems Architect
We are looking for someone to help us scale, automate, and maintain our SaaS application that is used by some of the largest and most prestigious universities and foundations. We operate a heavily sharded environment and process millions of scholarship applications for our customers. If you love working on interesting problems while knowing that your work is actually helping students pay for school, we'd love to talk to you.
We are a close-knit, pragmatic group. We have fun solving hard problems by tackling them as a team, relying on open communication, and a consistent willingness to pitch in. As a member of our team, you will be given ownership over key projects and entrusted to lead them through to completion. The contributions you make will have a real impact, and will be recognized by both our customers and other team members.
Examples of the work you might do are: * Writing and assisting with the design of new core features for both existing and new products; * Optimizing application and system components for performance and reliability; * Creating tools to automate the scaling of certain components of our AWS-backed infrastructure; and * Instrumenting our application and systems to capture performance and business metrics.
Our technology stack includes: * Amazon EC2, Route53, S3, and ElastiCache * Ruby/Rails * Cassandra * Elasticsearch * Postgres * Chef * Redis
If these types of problems and technologies interest you, please contact us at [email protected] . Experience in one or more of the technologies mentioned is preferred. Passion (and a basic understanding of Linux) is required.

I have a connection to an interesting (to me) Palo Alto start-up that is looking for:
- AI/Machine learning specialist
- C/C++ guy to do speech processing
- a front-end web engineer
VividCortex - Charlottesville, VA and Montevideo, Uruguay (FT or INTERN)
TL:DR - Go, Angular, Database Performance Management
Systems Programming
Our agents, backend systems, and infrastructure are all written in Go (it's awesome). We are ramping up to handle a jaw-dropping amount of incoming data. Data storage involves MySQL and other technologies in a fault-tolerant, distributed environment.
Operations and System Administration
We’re hosted in Amazon AWS and looking for people who do developer and sysops types of work — writing some server software, setting up some machines, whipping up some Ansible code, and so on.
Front End Development
The web app is backed by a small amount of PHP and Symfony2, and fronted by Angular and D3.js, CSS (Less), and HTML5. There’s a lot of API interaction from JavaScript, and a complex single-page user interface with rich data visualization that’s key for making our customers rave about the experience, not just the technology. We need people who can work in Angular, D3, design, styling, and so forth.
